Hellraiser Quartet Of Torment Limited Edition 4K UHD [Blu-ray] [2023] [Region Free]

Product Information

Ramrod) Making a horror sequel more often than not can produce something on par with and sometimes better than the original. Justin has been with Digital Spy since 2010, and in that time, has covered countless major news events for DS from the US. So while those inherent source issues remain however – grain haters will feel their skin crawl and there are real fluctuations in terms of those picture characteristics, which are nothing to do with the quality of the transfers here – and should be made aware to casual viewers, fans of the films and owners of previous discs will be more than pleased with the picture improvements of this new 4K release. However, there is something that can’t help but resonate with the public’s consciousness about the film’s antagonists and what they stand for – at once terrifyingly evil and wholly unknowable, yet rooted in what it means to be human, their being angels to some and devils to others is a notion we seem unable to shake. Experience the sublime agony of the original Hellraiser tetralogy with these 4K restorations from the original camera negatives.

Introducing the world to the iconic Pinhead, Hellraiser became an instant genre classic upon release and remains one of the most frighteningly original visions in horror. Christopher Young’s tremendous scores – terrifying bombast with quasi-religious overtones – all have some meat to them and are spread nicely across the front speaker array to at times, almost trap the listener within it. The special effects are magnificent, even the collector’s item of some stop motion animation (a real lost art).

Watching it again for review I have to say that Hellraiser 3 hasn’t aged as badly as I was expecting, and I acknowledge its strengths and weaknesses. Yes, horror, but at its heart is a story of love, longing, obsession, lust and the abject boredom and the familiarity of marriage. hardback book for both its 4K UHD and 1080 releases, and it contains the following information on this latest restoration: Hellraiser is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1. Those script problems plague the first act of the film, lazy exposition dumps and flashbacks are seemingly used solely to enable the film to resurrect Julia.

Much of the same is also true of Hellbound: Hellraiser II, only here there's the added complication of matte and optical FX shots, which naturally see detail levels drop significantly. The discs are also loaded with special features, not to mention the wildly impressive box decked out with new artwork that will look good on the ol’ media shelf. For more about Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment 4K and the Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment 4K Blu-ray release, see Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment 4K Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on November 3, 2023 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.

The reason I’m adverse to discussing these particular films is because they have such a deep emotional meaning to me that I am incapable of being objective about either of them, as I regard them both equally as films elevated above all other movies and works of true genius. The differences between the stereo and surround options are mostly due to the expansion into the speakers, both tracks retaining a very similar audio character – mid-range is healthy, with a decent low end and a crystal clean higher range. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. Note: This version of this film is available as part of Arrow's Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment 4K collection. All the new features don’t focus on the specifics of the films, but of the broader themes and context of the franchise.

The skinless Julia rising from the mattress in Hellbound now demonstrates a significantly greater range of reds across her glistening black, while on Pinheads statue prison in Hellraiser III, as he addresses JP for the first time, there’s now a gorgeous range of turquoises noticeable in the surrounding material. Arrow Video is bringing the Hellraiser franchise to 4K Ultra HD with a brand new Hellraiser: Quartet of TormentLimited Edition 4K UHD set, which features the first four movies in the Clive Barker-created horror franchise – plus the Workprint Version of Hellraiser: Bloodline! It could be interpreted as a feminist fantasy, and thanks to Clive Barker’s writing and direction the backbone of the story is a woman. It includes almost every single feature from the previous box-set, in addition to some insanely cool new ones like an Assembly Cut of the fourth entry 'Bloodlines' and a rather thick book containing writings on the franchise.Behind the Scenes* features some recently discovered extended archival videos, presented here for the first time. Back in 2016 when Arrow released Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box (which only included the first three films), they bestowed each with a 2K restoration from the original 35mm interpositive.

Europe's busiest forums, with independent news and expert reviews, for TVs, Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Movies, Gaming, Tech and more. Clive Barker would oversee first time director Tony Randel and script collaborator Peter Atkins as they delved deeper into the twisted depravity that was hell and all its forbidden pleasures.

The big difference with this 4K iteration of Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth over Arrow's earlier Blu-ray is the corrected framing, so there's no longer too much picture information (including lighting rigs and crew members). Also ich besitze ja schon die Studiocanal Steelbook Trilogie und die Hallraiser Black Box von Turbine, gerade die Black Box ist schon ein hingucker und gefüllt mit vielen Extras.
